Nothing built-in that I'm aware of. Shouldn't be difficult to build.
In the post-commit hook, write the diff of the revision to a new
file, named for the revision number (e.g. r123.diff). In a cron job
at midnight or whenever, get the list of files, sort them using a
natural sort algorithm, and for each file, append its contents to the
email being built, and then delete the diff file. Then send the mail.

If different people are subscribed to different paths in the
repository, I suppose this strategy would need to be modified somewhat.
